Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness

This EO establishes a policy that the medical, surgical, and mental health constraints associated with gender dysphoria are inconsistent with military readiness standards, and directs the Secretary of Defense to update DoD Instruction 6130.03 within 60 days, issue directives ending identification-based pronoun usage, and within 30 days identify implementation steps and report to the President. It bars service members from using sleeping, changing, or bathing facilities designated for the opposite sex absent extraordinary operational necessity, directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to issue parallel guidance for the Coast Guard within 30 days of the DoD updates, and implements the revocation of EO 14004 (Enabling All Qualified Americans To Serve Their Country in Uniform) by rescinding inconsistent policies.
